Dark blue in the sky.
White specs fade to bright white dots.
Dots that soon resemble stars.
I am captivated, awed.
Dark blue takes me away.
The stars take me back.
Back to the beginning.
I am captivated, awed.
Dark blue on your skin.
Your eyes turn to ice.
They see through me.
I am captivated, awed.
Dark blue on the water.
The ice, cold and solid.
It breaks, I plunge.
I am captivated, awed.
Dark blue all around me.
I can see you.
You see through me.
I am captivated, awed.
Dark blue in the sky.
White stars fade to light specs.
Specs that turn the sky to light blue.
I’m captivated, awed.
Author's note - This came to me while I was trying to sleep. I literally got my laptop out and wrote it at two in the morning. I'm not sure where it came from, it must have been my subconcious talking to me, but enjoy!
I love this poem! The repetition really works. It brings a musical quality to the piece, and I loved how it pulled me in to focus on the words that changed from stanza to stanza. It is clean in its simplicity, and effective as a piece of art.
